The French Académie française, regarded as the
official custodians of the French language resists the addition of new foreign words (especially those coming from English) to the language. The French have a high regard for their own culture and I think they feel threatened by the global adoption of English as a prefered second language. The Academy is entrusted with protecting French from "Anglo-Saxon" attacks and writing an official dictionary. An example of what they do is come to up with French equivalents to unwanted English words that slip into French - for example turning "email" into "courriel".When it is followed by a consonant, it is pronounced like the number 2, but with a slightly crisper 'oo' part. When followed by a vowel, it's the same except that the 's' makes a 'z' sound that slurs together with the following vowel.
